599-5th-Street-Brooklyn-0209.jpg
This new listing at 599 5th Street will be an interesting barometer of the market. It’s a beautiful limestone house on a park block that’s got tons of detail and is in excellent shape; it’s the kind of place that should have almost universal appeal. We also like the fact that the two-story extension solves the perennial problem of how to fit the kitchen on the parlor floor. The asking price is $2,400,000. We can’t wait to see what it sells for. There’s an open house on Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m.

  1. “You are a two-faced poseur.”

    We all are. It’s a blog.

    I’m not. I have put myself out here honestly and told people about the process of buying my house. It is hard to be honest sometimes, and I expressed my concerns and my hopes etc honestly and featured pictures on this blog. That is being oneself, something you could learn a bit about. Sitting on a blog and pretending to be something you are not does not make you tough. It makes you pathetic.

  2. “Man up. This is life on earth. You bought into the hype of the MARB. Deal with it. Then learn from it.”

    I bought a house and home office and I am glad I did. I am a good neighbor and member of my community. I have put my money where my mouth is, unlike you. It is so easy to sit here and shit on everybody. I am surprised you still find it amusing. Try doing something with your life.

  3. some random sampling of cheerleading quotes from dibs AFTER the respective dismal data hit:

    “Consumer confidence is up”, “93% of the country is employed”, “recession? what recession Black Friday sales shows all is good”, “I have a line of people waiting to pay more for my ghetto house” etc etc

  4. “If you were really concerned about people you would take a very different attitude about the implications of what you are crowing about.”

    Man up. This is life on earth. You bought into the hype of the MARB. Deal with it. Then learn from it.

    “I like What 100 times more than you because for better or for worse he is who he is.”

    I care.

    “You are a two-faced poseur.”

    We all are. It’s a blog.

  5. Are you folks smoking the sticky stuff again?

    Knock off a million dollars and I’d maybe go look at the house.

    The economy is in a tailspin and investment banking is on the way to hell.

    Who in their right mind is going to risk anywhere near 2.4 million on this nice, but only 17 foot wide abode?

    NOBODY.

  6. “the end of Brownstone Brooklyn as we know it”???

    You mean we’re defined purely by brownstone prices???

    You know damn well what I mean. If you were really concerned about people you would take a very different attitude about the implications of what you are crowing about. If you don’t get that then there is nothing I can do for you. I am sorry you find all of this so amusing. I assume you are not really as much of an asshole as you come off here because somebody married you but that is the best thing I can think of to say about you. I like What 100 times more than you because for better or for worse he is who he is. You are a two-faced poseur.
